The 32-year-old is angling for any potential match up to take place Stateside.

Murphy, however, reckons the American is living in dreamland.

“We will get it in this country,” he added.

“We’re better off having it here. Why would he go off to America? Let him come over here.

“He’ll sell out any arena in England and I think that’s what Joshua will push for.

“It will happen after this fight after Joshua beats Parker, but it’ll be a tough one.

“It’s a 50/50 fight and it’ll go to whoever has got the right game plan.

“I think that person with be AJ and I can see him unifying all the titles.”
